The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.

I used to like TB but then I realised his fame wasn't justified at all. He's actually a terrible gamer (even wow..) and his opinions of things are just way off. For instance, I remember him saying something like assassins were only good for being an off-tank.. for instance. He's definitely smart though, who else makes thousands of pounds by sucking at starcraft 2 (not sure if he still does, but he was definitely terrible last I checked).

I usually don't "hate" on people at all but there's something about his arrogance, along with the points above, that annoy me.

Does he even play swtor for that matter? I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't.

Opinions are never off the mark because opinions are based on the perceptions of each individual which may or may not include things that are not factually correct. It may well be that, in his experience, shadows have been terrible at main tanking which has led to the opinion he carries. The great thing about opinions is that they can change.

If you go into a TB video expecting to get anything other than his particular opinion or something, it is probably best to stop watching.

He's definitely got the portfolio to refute that, having participated in and won various gaming tournaments/competitions. I think he only plays SWTOR for coverage purposes - it's kind of a big deal right now, so it would make sense to get some hands-on with it. Plus, in the case of Starcraft especially, you have to realize that even just "getting there" requires high above average skill. This is a guy who rubs elbows with the likes of HuK, and definitely someone to be taken seriously, especially when it comes to opinion.

Besides, I thought it was fairly obvious to everyone right now that Powertechs are far and away the best tank you can get if anything because they're ranged. Juggernauts certainly aren't in a good place, that's for damn sure. Being "functional" is not the same thing as being "viable."

So he's a terrible gamer because, what? Has he not cleared the content you feel he has to? His lack of WoW prowess should be obvious, if you're not completely oblivious. It's gone downhill in the past few years and hit a plateau. He's expressed his feelings, his opinions on the matter, several times over. Secondly, how are his opinions way off? That's what they are, opinions. A subjective viewpoint based on an individual and their personal beliefs. You wouldn't be so dimwitted as to try judging them like he says they're facts, would you? Things he says are fact, are pretty much fact. Based on evidence he provides literally within the videos of the subject he's drawn into question. God forbid he make an inaccurate assumption, though I'm sure you enjoy picking any you can find apart just to be a douche. You're also correct, he is a smart man both in general and in a business sense. Since this is his job that he does to earn a living, it's only proper that he does what's in his best interest. Lastly, he's not very arrogant, he's real. He calls bullshit like he sees it and given that he provides evidence to support his claims and views, he's damn fine at what he does.

He's been playing SWTOR since Beta, where he played an Imperial Agent and showed off various aspects of the game, and has recently been playing a Bounty Hunter, which he's also alluded to in a few of his videos. Your reasons for "hating" him are shoddy at best and ridiculously moronic at worst.

Warning - Don't call names, I can see that you are trying to make your point but don't do it by calling other's moronic or dimwitted even if it's indirect. ~Rag

His voice drives me insane. His overall attitude also annoys me, but nothing near as bad as his voice. I don't hate the guy or anything, but I can't stand watching any of his videos.

My opinion of the his videos are as follows:

I do not hate him nor do I youtube diss him which seems the cool thing to do. (don't even have a youtube account)

However, I do not feel he is 'the most honest reviewer' out there. He tends to point out the obvious that has been stated in other reviews but then goes on about small mundane things the general player gives not one or two but three shits about.

There wasn't really any need to call me "dimwitted" a "douche" or "moronic" was there? You're typing as if I just blasphemed against your God or something - it's really sad. It's also ironic that you're calling me out on my opinion of his opinions... Anyway, I'm not into the whole arguing over the internet but I felt the need to reply.

Sorry folks, but it's rather hard to get interesting answers out of Bioware especially when their PR guy is in the room stopping him from talking.

I think this'll probably be our last Bioware interview. As much as I like the company and enjoy the game, we can't really provide any value if we can't get any straight answers out of them. We tried our best

It's was an alright interview. At least we got on the record they are aware of many issues currently plaguing the game. As for revealing solutions or leaking info I really didn't expect that. Anything they leak ahead of time will just get shit on by the internet community at large. Loose lips sink ships.

Whatever haters he may deal with, I have very high respect for the guy. He's very smart and his points may come across as being a jerk, but really, whoever takes the time to listen to what he has to say, will build respect for him. I've listened to the guy for about 3 years from Blue Plz to his videos.
